itcrowd Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Just been advised (2:45pm) that there are armed police currently on South View Road in Sharrow. Anyone got any snaps or know owt about what's going on? ---------- Post added 09-05-2017 at 14:50 ---------- There are now shouts of "Armed police!" on the street. [14:50] ---------- Post added 09-05-2017 at 14:53 ---------- Now shouts of "Hands on your head, get down on your knees!" [14:53] ---------- Post added 09-05-2017 at 14:56 ---------- It's reported to me that it is a very big raid with many police involved so it could be very serious indeed [14:56] ---------- Post added 09-05-2017 at 15:06 ---------- It's reported to me that the cops involved are all wearing black riot gear with helmets and body armour. Shouting still ongoing. At least 6 officers engaged with ancillary officers redirecting traffic and pedestrians. Armed police on site too. [15:06] ---------- Post added 09-05-2017 at 15:32 ---------- The police have now left [15:30] ---------- Post added 09-05-2017 at 16:38 ---------- Short report in The Sheffield Star which doesn't give much away: http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/breaking-armed-police-surround-property-on-sheffield-street-1-8534563 More details to follow later, they say.

RollingJ Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Think The Star got the police force wrong - don't think WYP cover Sheffield! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Think The Star got the police force wrong - don't think WYP cover Sheffield! You may be surprised to learn that polices forces are not limited by force fields at county borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) You may be surprised to learn that polices forces are not limited by force fields at county borders. Very true. I was apprehended by three forces once and they were arguing who got to take me in because of who was on scene first and which shire they were in. Actually, reading that back, that sounds a lot more serious than it actually was! Edited May 10, 2017 by alchresearch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
